JUNGGA

Meokja by JUNGGA stands as Singapore's premier Muslim-friendly Korean restaurant, helmed by Chef Jung SangWoo, a Korean-Muslim revert who opened this establishment in October 2022 at GR.iD mall in Dhoby Ghaut. Driven by his desire to make authentic Korean cuisine accessible to Muslim diners, Chef Jung partners with his wife Afrah to create genuine Korean flavors using exclusively halal ingredients. The restaurant offers an extensive menu of Korean classics including Jja Jang Myeon (noodles in black bean sauce), JjamPpong (spicy seafood soup), Bibim Guksu (spicy mixed noodles), and their signature Samgyetang (Korean ginseng chicken soup). Street food favorites like kimbap, yangnyeom chicken, and tteokbokki featuring chewy rice cakes in gochujang sauce provide authentic Korean street food experiences starting from .90. Operating Thursday through Tuesday from 10:30am to 3pm and 5pm to 10pm, Meokja by JUNGGA represents Chef Jung's mission to share proper halal Korean food after recognizing the lack of authentic options for Muslim diners. While not officially halal-certified, their commitment to using only halal ingredients and authentic Korean preparation methods has made them a trusted destination for Korean cuisine enthusiasts seeking Muslim-friendly dining experiences.
